Re: 5250 telnet keepalive

I was hoping to avoid having to "park" my AS/400 session in order to keep
it active.

  It needs to be run from an interactive session. It always creates
  traffic between itself and the requester's terminal.

  I wouldn't recommend putting this in your bridge program. Instead,
  run it from the interactive job.

  If you do insert the 5250 codes that this generates into your
  bridge program, you'll need to intercept the response in order to
  prevent the iSeries from getting confused. I'm not sure that I'd
  attempt that unless I was really desperate.
